Sorensdale Park (Assessed by Henry)


Sorensdale Park
 275 Goodwin Street, Hayward, CA

I do not believe this park is very safe. I thought that this would be a nice park to go to because there is a baseball field for games and a playground for kids, but every time I go to this park there are people doing sketchy things. I believe that the only safe time to go to this park with young kids is during the afternoon because there tend to be less sketchy people at that time.
